Despite a huge effort by Séanna and others today, there are still health & safety concerns on campus. As a result Mary, Mother of Hope schools will remain closed tomorrow Monday, March 5th. We expect to be open on Tuesday, 6th. Stay safe & well.

Congratulations to all the boys and girls who have been working particularly hard on their handwriting over the last few weeks. Winners of our Handwriting Heroes competition are pictured below. Well done to everyone involved and thank you to Ms Hallahan for organising this initiative.

We had great fun celebrating the lovely atmosphere of kindness and friendship that exist in and between our schools from Feb 7th to 13th. Children explored the importance of friendship in our lives and how to be a good friend to others. We did activities with friends in our own classes and friends from other classes too as well as raising money for Amnesty International through our Friendship Bracelet exchange. Check out the photos of our friendship week competition winners below!

We have been working with water in Junior Infants. Not only that we are being scientists. First we made some predictions as to what we thought would float and what might sink. Then we tested our predictions. After that we discussed our findings. Then we decided to make an iceberg. We wondered what would happen when we put the tub of water, with our objects in it, into the freezer. They all got frozen in the ice berg! Then we watched the ice melt in our warm classroom through the day. We had lots to talk about when we were finished.
